2022 Nissan GT-R price and specs

The Nissan GT-R’s farewell tour in Australia will include two special editions.

The GT-R T-Spec and GT-R Nismo SV will join the Premium, Premium Luxury and Nismo variants when the 2022 range touches down in October 2021.

Fewer than 50 GT-R models in total will be arriving for the car’s final model year in Australia.

The T-Spec helps bridge the gap between the Premium variants and the Nismo, offering a range of aesthetic and performance tweaks.

Our review of the GT-R T-Spec is now live, check it out here.

It’s perhaps best distinguished by its gold forged 20-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx high-performance tyres.

The T-Spec also gains the carbon ceramic rotors of the Nismo models, which measure 410mm at the front and 390mm at the rear compared to the standard Brembo’s 390mm/380mm set-up.

There’s a carbon-fibre spoiler down back, while the seats, steering wheel, shifter and much of the dashboard are finished in dark green and complemented with a quilted Alcantara headliner and suede A-pillar trim.

Sitting at the top of the range is the Nismo SV, which gains a clear-coated carbon-fibre bonnet, red exterior accents, and 20-inch Rays aluminium forged wheels.

The GT-R is being withdrawn from the Australian market due to new side impact regulations.

“Due to the implementation of Australia’s unique pole side impact design rules (ADR 85), the Nissan GT-R will not be imported into the Australian market after October 31, 2021,” said a spokesperson from Nissan Australia.

Despite its age, the GT-R will continue to be offered in other markets.

“This isn’t the end of the GT-R story in Australia, but it will mark the closure of this chapter for this generation vehicle,” said Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson.

“And there is surely no more fitting a send-off for this performance hero than with an expanded range offering that includes not one but two thrilling special editions.”
